Robinson haunts Purdue defense

Michigan QB leads 304-yard rushing attack

Without question, it was not the production the Purdue defensive line expected.

Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson rushed for 235 yards against a Boilermaker defense that was allowing only 106.5 rushing yards a game before the Wolverines totaled 304.

"Most of it was just miscommunication," defensive tackle Kawann Short said. "We could have come out way better than what we did. We knew we were a better defense than that. We were kind of shocked as a defense knowing they could make plays like that."

So was defensive back Ricardo Allen.

"(Pressure) is a really big factor," Allen said. "The game starts in the trenches. I don't think (the defensive line) had a bad game, but they didn't have their best game."
